Freedman's Bakery, an icon on the Jersey Shore, closed it's doors for good in January, after 64 years in business. Opening in 1950, it quickly made a name for itself, thanks to their renowned rye bread, and keiser rolls. At it's height, Freedman's had 42 stores along the Jersey Shore. This was their last remaining bakery. No word as to what will happen to this beautiful googie neon sign. An end of an era.
Located at 15th and Market in Ballard. The building later became a Denny's, and was demolished in 2008 after a landmark designation was overturned. Item 189742, Neighborhood Architecture Photographs and Surveys (Record Series 1629-02), Seattle Municipal Archives.

In my favorite side of Vegas (i.e. the rundown side). I wanted to take a picture of the Tod Motel across the street, not only because it is awesome-looking, but because "Tod" means "dead" in German. My battery ran out, though.

Been meaning to photograph this one for 5 years now. Finally got around to it.
I had the day off last Friday, so I went down to Wildwood and brought my Pentax 67 loaded with expired Kodak Plus-X 220.
Built in 1956, Lincoln's Pershing Auditorium hosted major events in town: concerts, plays, dances, graduations, sporting events, rodeo, etc, as illustrated by the fantastic mid-century mosaic that covers the western facade. Since Pinnacle Bank Arena was built (and really, since the Devaney Center in the early 80s), the Pershing has seen fewer and fewer events until it was finally closed in 2014. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pershing_Center
Now this is a sign that's SERIOUS. Amazing and it's for nothing more than a little liquor store in Dallas!

Wish I knew who designed this beauty.
I thought this used to be a US Forestry Service Visitor Center. It's currently abandoned and probably in danger. I was challenged by two workers who were incredulous that anyone would possibly want to take a picture of the building.
